What insight. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to look inside Joe's thoughts. I like how you defined the moment because he really does change from Season 1 to Season 2...a more vulnerable softer Joe. And of course I love all that angst. :)

Okay, so I recently discovered Halt and Catch Fire, semi-binging the first season in two days. How on earth did I miss it?! Totally hooked now! Anywho, this is totally how I saw Joe in the finale. The Giant worked fine, but it had essentially been lobotomized when Gordon installed DOS, and Joe knew it. I think you captured his inner monologue perfectly! Well done!
